A Tiny Lizard

I found a tiny lizard 
Climbing on a tiny tree
I put him in a tiny jar
And took him home with me

I put him on my tall dresser 
Next to my tall gleaming lamp, 
I showed him to my tall brother 
Who said “show it to ol’ Gramps”. 

In the den I found old gramps,
Sitting wearily in his old chair
He saw I had something in my hand 
And said “what do you have there”?

I showed him the tiny lizard 
Exploring in the tiny jar 
Old Gramps said I had to let it go 
I had already moved it too far


So I went back to the tiny tree
To let the tiny lizard go
I opened the lid on the tiny jar
And I sent the tiny lizard home.
